1000 Letters Project

The art of the letter is dying. With the increasing prevalence of emails, text and instant messaging, as well as message boards; no one wants to take the time to hand write and mail out a letter anymore. The written word is becoming a thing of the past. It is my wish to change this. 

Welcome to the 1000 Letters Project: 

How to participate: 

Write a one page, one-sided letter. The page can be any size you want but the entire letter must be written on one side. The subject matter of the letter can be about anything at all and may include pictures or drawings if you wish. However, it must be hand written or typed on a typewriter. Computer printed letters will not be accepted. Please mail your letters along with a self-addressed stamped envelope to the address below. 

500 letters will be collected and used in three ways.
1. The letters will be photocopied and used for the 1000 letters zine.
2. The original letters will be used in an art installation and be on display in the New York City area.
3. Most importantly, Crafty Records will release the 1000 Letters cd. The cd will consist of bands that the label has met while traveling on tour throughout the U.S. All the songs will be about letter writing. 
   
       Each cd will include one of your 500 letters sent to Crafty Records along with a SASE. The purchaser of the cd will then write a return letter, which will be written and mailed back to you. These 500 return letters along with your original 500 letters will make up the 1000 letters for the project. You will receive a letter from a perfect stranger and a letter writing partnership will be born. These letters will hopefully be the foundation of thousands of future hand- written letters brought on by this project.
Please send your letters to: 
          1000 Letters Project
          c/o Crafty Records 
          75 Earley Street 
          Bronx NY 10464 

Remember to include a SASE so a letter can be sent easily in return.
Thank you to everyone in advance for making this project possible. If you have any questions or comments at all send an email to 1000lettersproject@craftyrecords.net or better yet, write me a letter at the address above. Send it attention dAN.
